Still, on Monday a Michigan man thought he'd found a revolutionary use for his July 4 fireworks. As Grand Blanc Township fire chief Robert Burdette told me: "The resident used a smoke bomb trying to remove bees from a hive in his garage."

This might not have been the wisest move.

As Michigan Live reports, the result of this ingenuity was that the garage burned down and fireworks shot into the sky. No one was hurt, but it's a timely reminder to be careful when using fireworks. Watch this horrific video, if you really need to be reminded of the dangers.
